VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 258,385, dated May 231, 1882.

Application tiled February 18, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom zt may concern Beit known that I, ZEBULON DAV1s,of Canton, in the county of Starke and State of Ohio,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part otghis specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in vapor-burners; and it consists in pivoting to the under side ofthe burner an induction-tube, which is connected, by means of a rod which passes up through the burner, with the cap of the burner, so that when the induction-tube is moved. partially around by means of its handle the cap will be moved back from over the top of the burner. The ohject'of .this part ot' my invention is to connect the induction-tube and the removable top of the burner together by means otl a rod which passes up directly through the burner, and thus protect the rod from the heat ot' the ilame to which it is eX- posed when Vthe rod passes up upon the ontside.

The `second part of my invention consists in forming an inclined plane or detleotor upon one side of the induction-tube, so that when the tube is turned to one side the deliector will guide a portion ofthe flame or vapor directly into the bottom of the burner. lhe object of this part of my invention is to form a deiector upon one side of the inductiontube, so that when the tube is swung around sufcicntly far to one side the deliector will guide a portion of the flame directly into the bottom of the burner, while enough of the flame will be diverted against the timid-pipes to maintain the heat of vaporizat-ion, and thus keep the burner ready for instantuse. l

Figure l is a vertical section of my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation ot1 the same. Fig. 3 is an inverted View otthe burner, taken on the line a b,Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the inductiontube, connecting-rod, cap, and lever. Fig. 5 is an inverted view ofthe burner,

showing the detlector moved to one side, so asto only slightly expose the opening into the burner. Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the cap,

.of forming a detlector.

pipe C, which is provided with the regulatingscrew D in the usual manner, which screw has the lighting-cup attached to it.

Pivoted upon the bottom ot' the burner is the induction-tube E, which has the inclined plane F formed upon one side for the purpose The'pivotal rod G, upon which this tube is fastened, passes up directly through the burner, and is.connected to the top of the burner at its upper 4end in such a manner that when the induction-tube is moved the top or cap V ot' the burner will be moved at the same time. This pivotal rod is passed up through the burner for the purpose ot' protecting it from the heat-ot' the flame to which it is subjected when placed outside of the burner. This inlet-tube and capot' the burner are connected together, so that when either oneis moved the other will be moved at the same time; or, it' so desired, the induetion-tube and the cap may be hinged separately and each one provided with a handle or other means for moving it, instead ot' being connected together, as shown, or the cap or top ot' the burner may be formed solidly with the reservoir, and the induction-pipe alone may be moved for the purpose of detlecting, all ot' the vapor and flame against the fluid-conducting pipe for the purpose- Ot maintaining the heat ot vaporization and keeping the burner always ready for instant use. The object in making the cap or cover ot' the burner movable is to move it to one side, so that the flame is guided np through the burner and burns through the opening which is made by mov ing the cap, instead of burning through the small openings made in the side of the burner in the usual manner. Where the cap is thus will cover the opening into the bottom of the burner, and thus prevent the passage of any ofthe vapor into the burner, and hence cause it al1 to be burned upon the outside, where it will maintain the heat ofvaporization and keep the burner ready for instant use. Where the cap is not made movable the vapor is not allowed to enter the burner when a full flame is not wanted, for the reason that there will not be sufficient gas tosupport a positive and sate ame, and hence will cansey an unpleasant smellto be emitted from the burner bythe uncosumed vapor.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- '1. A vapor-burner havingfan induction-tube pivoted to its under side, in combination with a connecting-rod and movable cap, the tube and cap-,being connected directly and rigidly together, substantially as shown.

2. In a vapor-burner, the combination of a pivotcd induction-tube, a movable cap or top, and a connecting-rod which passes up through the burner, whereby the cap and inductiontube are made to move together, substantially as described.

3. The combination of a vapor-burner with a pivoted induction-tube, the induction-tube having a deiiecting-suriaoe, F, formed upon its side, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination ofthe vapor-burner with an induction-tube havinga deiiector formed upon its side, and a movable cap, whereby an auxiliary heating-flame may be maintained at the top oi' the burner, substantially as. specitied.

In testimony` whereof Il affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
